The bits depth of this laptop is ridicolous, I can see a gradient of 4 colours in each film in full HD, games, images, youtube videos... On the other hand, in the description put 8 GB of RAM... When I do the general check it appears 6GB. I don't recommend this PC If you want work in any audiovisual project or If you want quality of image.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Lenovo Z50 15.6-inch Notebook in black

The first thing I'd like to point out is that, if I could I'd have given this laptop a 4.5 out of 5 however that isn't possible by the Amazon scoring system so I've given it a 4.

I will explain why I didn't feel that I could give 5 stars right here, at the beginning of my review.

When I unboxed the laptop I was immediately aware of how it felt somewhat flimsy in it's construction. It certainly is far lighter than my other laptop which was a Compaq. However the Compaq feels much sturdier.

The finish on the thing looks nicer than it is as the screen surround, whilst being nice and shiny, is really thin if you press it. The upper casing face housing the keyboard and mouse pad has a matt finish to it which sadly, after very little use, starts to look smeary and marked from being touched.

The feel of lightweight construction was compounded when the lid was opened as it bends noticeably if you lift it from one side and not from the middle. This model doesn't have the touchscreen ability (which, I for one don't miss on any PC having used one and hated it) and I feel that constant use of a touchscreen on this PC may well put too much stress on the display/lid hinges.

The next thing I have to mention is the touch pad and it's buttons - they're absolutely awful. I have already gone to an external mouse to get over the nastiness of the onboard touch pad.
I found that no matter how I set it up, I simply could not get either the mouse cursor speed or the double tap speed how I wanted them nor stop random movements and triggering from clothing touching the pad surface.

The pad's left and right buttons are diabolical. They sit below the pad and the body of the laptop and make a sound like a click when actually nothing has happened. I really need to make a definite press to ensure the action registered.

The keyboard isn't too bad however. It's sensitive and distinct in action but not overly so. It has a good deal of travel and feels more like a desk top keyboard than many other laptop keyboards I have used.

The on-board display is very sharp and has a very good range of brightness levels suitable for everything the average user can throw at it. I'm not a video editing type so mostly I don't need blisteringly fast refresh rates. For me it works just fine

The machine is provided with two standard USB2 ports as well as one USB3, the latest incarnation of the standard. There is a standard VGA socket for an external monitor as well as an auto sensing HDMI socket for connection to an HDMI TV. I tried this on my Samsung TV and was very impressed with the quality of the video it presented to the TV.

The onboard DVD drive is nice and quiet (actually as is the laptop generally) and seems to work perfectly. There is also a card reader installed for SD cards from cameras, music players etc and that too works exactly as expected.

The speakers are, as you'd expect minuscule things which, for some bizarre reason Lenovo have chosen to place beneath the thing however overall the audio quality is pretty good.

Of course this machine ships with Windows 8.1, which is a definite improvement on the original Win 8 but can still take some time to get used to if you've been used to either Win7 or Win XP but and it's a big but, STICK WITH IT as I think Win 8.1 is actually a pretty good operating system.

I'm not going to spend any real time commenting on the OS as this is a review on the computer not it's software. I will say that with no more than a few clicks of the mouse (or pad) buttons you can switch from the Win8 icon based system, into a Win7 (and XP) style desktop and with a Win XP start bar thrown in for good measure.
Whilst not a fan of the mobile phone look of the Win8 'Apps' screen I can see that anyone used to an iPad or similar tablet will fee right at home almost immediately

I did have a slight problem getting the machine to see my wifi network (BT) but it happily saw my wife's Virgin Media wifi. In the end, having set it up on Virgin to prove the wifi functioned, I went into the network and sharing centre option and set the machine up with a static ip address and, after that everything worked perfectly. I'm happily cruising along at around 35Mbs via the wifi which is pretty good for my location.
One thing to do with the cable LAN connection socket is that its partially hidden behind a little flap on the left hand side Treat this carefully as it is definitely not designed for a lot of in/out lead plugging.

The Bluetooth took a bit of fiddling about with but eventually worked quite happily and with no problems, back and forth to my Samsung Galaxy.

Battery life is interesting. Fully charged the battery icon will show nearly four hours of use. Hmmm - yes possibly if you're not actually doing anything. I found that around 3 hours seemed more the case but I'm not complaining at that as I was running a software defined radio (SDR#) which tends to have a fairly high CPU overhead.

The computer comes with a fair amount of software, both free and expensive to activate (Office 2013 - no thanks) so I set about installing much of my favourite packages including OpenOffice. This was where I hit one glitch which was Win 8.1 based. To run the database portion of OpenOffice I needed to install both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Java to get the correct JREs installed. Worth remembering if you use O.O.

Finally it runs very cool in comparison to some laptops I have used and, as I say, very quietly too.

The $1000 question - do I like it. Well yes, overall.
As I say, for me it's a 4.5 out of 5, only being let down by the points I mentioned at the start. Perhaps I'm just being pernickity but, hey that's just me!

UPDATE 3rd March 2015

If you have purchased this model of laptop or any of several other Lenovo models go to the Lenovo support site and enter "Superfish". This is a piece of software pre-installed by Lenovo that is now flagged as a "man-in-the-middle" attacker because of how it "intercepts users' web traffic to provide targeted advertisements"
Lenovo recommend it's removal. The easiest way requires the use of their removal tool to be certain of the removal of the certificates as well as the software. They don't tell you but you will need to turn off your anti-virus when you run the removal tool.
At least Lenovo keep you safer than many manufacturers.

UPDATE 16 November 2015

3 Days ago I received an email from Lenovo inviting me to extend my 1 year warranty for another 2 years. This turned into a farce as long running as many in London's West End.
I clicked the link in their email and accepted the offer for another 2 years warranty. I filled in all the data they required, paid by credit card, got a receipt and assumed that was that.
But it wasn't.
Lenovo's warranty services are managed by a company called Digital River, and a more useless bunch of XXXXX I would be hard pushed to find.
When the confirmation of the order arrived by email, I was required to go on line and confirm it. Unfortunately when I tried I was informed by the system that my machine was already out of warranty so, having taken my money, they now decide I can't have my service.
My machine is NOT out of warranty, originally being registered with them on January 29th 2015. However according to digital river it was registered on October 30th 2010 ! Impossible as I didn't even have the thing then.

So I then spent the next 2.5 HOURS trying to speak to ANYONE who had the vaguest concept of customer service. No one was able to correct the date on their database even though they clearly have the correct date somewhere otherwise they'd not have sent the upgrade offer stating I had 45 days left to extend the warranty.
Telephone calls, emails, web pages and even Facebook have achieved nothing and so the credit card payment has had to be withdrawn and I have no extended warranty.
Hence as is so often the case, a good product is let down by abysmal customer service.
